Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews psychologist, professor, and author Dr. Alan Godwin about his book Ties That Bind: Unraveling Stories That Keep Us in the Dark, focusing on how individuals and societies accept untrue “stories” that merely sound true. Godwin shares growing up in segregated Jackson, Mississippi, where his idyllic childhood coexisted with racial terror across town, illustrating collective normalization of dysfunction. He discusses confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and how adults construct self-justifying narratives, contrasting Jonathan Rauch's “reality-based community” (evidence, epistemic humility, tolerance for ambiguity) with a “story-based fortress” that discards disconfirming facts and becomes both protection and prison. Using clinical examples like “Katie” and modern cases of relatives drawn into conspiratorial information silos, he emphasizes attachment and identity as drivers of collective deception, argues people are often drawn out by relationships more than information, and concludes that humility is the key skill for better truth-seeking.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:52 Meet Alan Godwin02:42 Growing Up in Jackson05:43 Stories and Lying07:46 Bias and Normalization10:08 Truth Hurts Then Frees12:37 Reality Based Community14:46 Story Based Fortress18:02 Escaping the Fortress20:14 Katie and Personal Healing22:00 Harry Potter Blindness22:50 Accents and Linguistics23:27 From Self Doubt to Uncle Irving24:42 Collective Deception Online26:48 Environment Reveals the Real You28:57 Information Silos and Gaslighting30:58 Attachment and Identity Needs33:57 Sports Fandom as Microcosm36:14 Crowd Seduction and Nazi Rallies38:32 Truth Needs Trusted Relationships40:32 AI Can't Replace Human Connection41:41 Humility as the Ultimate Skill44:35 Closing Thanks and FarewellHelpful Links:Dr. Alan GodwinDr. Alan Godwin LinkedInTies That Blind: Unraveling Stories That Keep Us in the Dark Book

What lies beyond the veil? And what happens when we actually experience it firsthand?  In this live session, Kara Goodwin shares personal multidimensional encounters including a profound direct experience of what she understood as the space-time continuum, and shares what she saw relating to how your vibrational frequency invisibly shapes every layer of your life. True consciousness expansion comes as a lived experience, rather than just learning things with our mind. But here's why I want to share my own multidimensional experiences of expanded consciousness with you: when someone shares an authentic account of stepping beyond the veil, it plants a seed in the listener. I've experienced this for myself, and I am happy to pay that forward. That seed then eventually begins to germinate and sprout, allowing them have their own multidimensional experience. Suddenly something they had only heard about and understood with their mind becomes a visceral experience they understand with their whole being. In this livestream, Kara shares: ✨ Personal experiences from beyond the veil and what they reveal about the nature of reality

In Part 2, Kyle and Brent Pease go beyond the race course and into the harder terrain — the screaming match in a New York City taxi after a broken wheelchair nearly ended their marathon, the board member who called every morning during school drop-off, and what it actually takes to build an organization that can run without you. This is where the mission meets the mechanics, and where two brothers figure out how to grow up together in public. In this episode: How Kyle and Brent built the Kyle Pease Foundation from scratch — including the nine months it took to help their very first family, the decision to race at least once a month to create visibility, and how they've grown from six events in 2013 to 64 events across 14 states last year The New York City Marathon story: the wheelchair broke mid-race, Brent spent an hour trying to fix it with help from the NYPD, and eventually told Kyle he was done — and what Kyle said back that got them across the finish line Brent's framework for hiring in a nonprofit: passion for the mission matters more than fit for the role, and for every non-disabled hire, he wants to add another employee with a disability doing real work — not stuffing envelopes The Dick Hoyt lesson — the father behind the famous push-assist duo called Brent before the 2018 IRONMAN World Championship and gave him these words of advice: "just keep pushing the pedals" How Kyle became the athlete-coach he is today: years of sitting on the sidelines, listening to adults talk, and watching his brother compete gave him an observer's precision that most coaches never develop Support the Kyle Pease Foundation Dwayne is matching donations — up to $5,000 total.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews psychologist and ADHD expert Dr. Ari Tuckman about ADHD and productivity, focusing on the gap between knowing and doing and the consequences of untreated ADHD, including broad health and life risks. Tuckman distinguishes ordinary forgetfulness from ADHD as an exacerbation of universal problems, urges taking ADHD seriously without taking it personally, and explains why impatience and shame can build from repeated “missing the mark” moments. They discuss practical strategies for reliability and punctuality, emphasizing intention, realistic planning, saying no, and “feeling the future.” Tuckman contrasts evidence-based treatments (especially stimulant medication, plus therapy, sleep, exercise, mindfulness) with largely unsupported alternatives (supplements, brain training, dietary fixes, chiropractic claims). He outlines differential diagnosis considerations (sleep issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, autism) and recommends thorough interviews over costly testing batteries, offering tools like analog clocks to externalize time.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why ADHD Matters01:12 Meet Dr Ari Tuckman02:50 Forgetfulness vs ADHD03:58 Why Ari Chose ADHD05:34 Adult ADHD Then and Now07:40 Impatience and Self Criticism10:18 Actually Being On Time12:40 Planning Paradox Tips16:47 Feeling the Future19:12 Treatments vs Alternatives21:14 Costs of Untreated ADHD22:23 Medication Without Shame23:59 Glasses Denial Story24:56 Diet and Microbiome Reality26:39 Supplements and Other Myths28:50 Ruling Out Lookalikes32:51 Getting a Proper Diagnosis34:54 Practical Time Tools36:54 Living Well With ADHD39:16 Intentions Versus Impact42:12 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Dr. Ari TuckmanThe ADHD Productivity Manual Book

Sean Azzaro and Barron Wiley discuss how Christians can engage entertainment like Star Wars and Harry Potter with discernment, using it as an opportunity to help kids think biblically and critically rather than avoiding everything outright. They explore what it means to “share your faith, use words if necessary,” emphasizing that lifestyle matters but the New Testament also calls believers to speak about Jesus. The conversation compares different approaches to evangelism—from street-corner preaching to relational, everyday conversations—and highlights witnessing as simply telling what you've seen God do. Sean shares examples of praying for others, his son Ryan leading someone to Christ through casual invitations, and the need for churches and believers to rely on the Holy Spirit's power (Acts 1:8) and not fear or shame. 00:00 Welcome and Banter00:45 Star Wars and The Force03:25 Harry Potter Discernment06:54 Talk Faith Naturally08:37 Street Preaching Debate11:23 Everyday Evangelism Stories13:19 Great Commission As You Go19:27 Church Culture Shift22:26 Spirit Empowered Witness24:08 Mothers Day and Church Info25:09 Closing Thanks

Are you experiencing a strong sense of spiritual awakening and wondering if you are a starseed?  Many starseeds feel an intense connection to the universe and a deep desire to fulfill their starseed mission. Those who identify as indigo children or crystal children often exhibit starseed signs, such as a strong intuition and a feeling of not belonging to this world.  As we journey through the process of ascension, it's common to experience a range of spiritual awakening signs, from feeling a sudden surge in creativity to experiencing vivid dreams and visions. If you are a Lyran starseed, Pleiadian starseed, Arcturian starseed, or Andromedan (like me!), you may be experiencing a unique set of signs and symptoms that are guiding you towards your higher purpose.  In this video, we will explore some signs that could suggest you are a starseed, and provide guidance on how to navigate your spiritual awakening and fulfill your starseed mission.  Get the insight and guidance you need to understand your place in the universe and fulfill your spiritual potential.

Dr. Adam Dorsay hosts SuperPsyched and interviews University of Nevada, Reno linguistics professor and author Dr. Valerie Fridland about her book "Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents" and how accents shape identity. Fridland explains the title stems from how people label unfamiliar speech as “funny,” drawing on her upbringing in the South with French-speaking parents and the stigma and pride tied to Southern speech. She describes how children first learn language rhythms and sounds from parents (even in utero), then around ages four to five shift toward peer influence through “vernacular reorganization,” often retaining small traces of family speech. Fridland outlines how American regional dialects developed from settlement patterns and later cultural inputs, and discusses how comedians and politicians use marked accents to invoke stereotypes and solidarity. She also notes psycholinguistic research on cognitive fluency affecting judgments of trustworthiness, plus links between personality and speech features like fillers, and how familiarity drives perceptions of linguistic beauty.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why Accents Fascinate Us01:21 Meet Valerie Fridland02:40 Growing Up With Accents06:23 Parents vs Peers10:50 How Kids Shift Accents14:50 Origins of US Dialects17:09 Colonies and Cultural Roots23:11 Melting Pot and Language Loss25:03 Why Accents Sound Funny29:50 Solidarity and Authenticity33:15 Accent Bias and Fluency38:10 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Valerie Fridland, PhDWhy We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents Book

Host Edith welcomes returning guest Caroline Ailanthus to discuss her new epic fantasy novel The Elf, the Dwarf and the Telegraph: Book One, the first in a trilogy. Caroline explains the story's large scope and ensemble cast, centered on three protagonists including Gwen, a transgender half-elf with a sword, in a quasi-Roman world on the brink of civil war driven by environmental justice, conservation, science, and threats to democracy. She reads an excerpt depicting a republic's destabilization and autocratic takeover aided by oligarchs, noting historical inspirations from Sherman, Grant, Lincoln, and Julius Caesar and arguing that environmental problems and political instability are connected.

**Boys and Girls, We're Back! Tyler from MORRFlate Returns – Tire Inflation Wars, Copycats, Patents & Off-Road Innovation** We're back with another awesome episode of the Jeep Talk Show! Tyler from MORRFlate joins us again for a raw, honest conversation about building a business in the off-road world, dealing with big-time copycats, patent battles, and why competition (the right kind) actually drives innovation. Tyler has been wheeling Toyotas all over California since he was a kid, lives close to the Rubicon Trail, runs NorCal 4x4 Rescue, co-hosts the Snail Trail 4x4 Podcast, and has poured serious support into trail advocacy. In this return visit (first one was back in September 2025), he opens up about getting threatened by a major player, the reality of enforcing patents, and how a $3M company competes against $45M giants with deep marketing pockets. We dive deep into: - How MORRFlate's 4-tire inflation/deflation system works (connects all four tires as one big air tank, equalizes pressure automatically, saves massive time on the trail) - The frustration of direct copies (even stealing the signature neon green color) - Why patents aren't the silver bullet everyone thinks - Airflow limitations of Schrader valves and future ideas to fix the bottleneck - Building a company from a garage condo to a team of 8+ with a warehouse in Sacramento - Lifetime warranties, obsessive quality control, and hiring fellow off-roaders - AI chatbots on the website, robots in manufacturing, and how AI is changing marketing and product design Tyler also shares his 30-second elevator pitch: MORRFlate makes airing up and down your tires super convenient so you can actually enjoy the trail instead of babysitting a compressor. If you've ever deflated for traction, fought with individual tire hoses, or dreamed of faster air-ups on your Jeep, Toyota, or any rig — this one's for you. **Timestamps:** 00:00:00 Show Opening 00:00:10 Misnaming Moore Flat 00:00:31 Tyler's Background & Sales 00:01:19 Previous Interview & Threats 00:02:06 Acquisition Threat & Patent Journey 00:03:08 Patent Approval & Copycats 00:04:01 Company Name Confidential 00:04:33 Patent Enforcement Costs 00:05:21 Competition and Innovation 00:06:35 Amazon Listings & Pricing 00:08:03 RealTruck Ownership Impact 00:09:12 Podcast Monetization Issues 00:09:41 Morfleet Product Overview 00:11:07 Tire Deflation Benefits 00:12:59 Airflow Limits of Valves 00:13:28 Air Tank Volume Calculations 00:14:43 Limited Tank Capacity Demo 00:15:46 Compressor Performance Insights 00:16:24 Personal Projects & Ideas 00:17:40 Upcoming Valve Projects 00:19:07 Valve Interior Flow Restriction 00:21:41 Heavy Equipment Valve Solutions 00:23:48 Apex Rapid Valve Review 00:24:15 Challenges with Large Tires 00:24:59 Passion for Problem Solving 00:29:04 Warehouse & Quality Control 00:34:48 Lifetime Warranty Strategy 00:37:02 Customer Focus Assurance 00:38:22 Employee Attitude Culture 00:39:50 Testing Competitor Gear 00:40:51 People-Centric Philosophy 00:43:28 Corporate vs Small Business 00:44:07 Politics and Truth 00:45:47 Vendor Conflict Over Copying 00:49:05 AI Chatbot Deployment 00:50:30 AI, Quality Control & Robotics 00:53:25 AI in Product Design 00:54:51 AI Impact on Jobs 00:57:45 Minimum Wage Debate 00:58:49 Digital Media & AI 01:02:40 Show Recap & Future 01:04:25 Closing Thanks 01:06:38 Final Thanks & Friendship 01:09:02 Interview Conclusion **Links:** - MORRFlate Official Site: https://morrflate.com/ (Check out the Quad hose kits, Air Hub, and play with their AI chatbot!) - Tyler on Instagram/X: @4x4ToyotaTyler - MORRFlate on Social: @morrflate - Snail Trail 4x4 Podcast: Search "Snail Trail 4x4" on your favorite platform (830+ episodes!)

On Pushing Forward with Alycia, Alycia Anderson welcomes writer and teacher Molly Gaudry, founder of Lit Pub and author of We Take Me Apart and Fit Into Me: A Novel: A Memoir, to discuss storytelling, identity, and memory. Molly shares being born in Korea, adopted, and growing up in northeast Ohio, where early language acquisition and school support shaped her love of reading and writing. Molly recounts a 2011 concussion that led to months of double vision and sensory overload. She eventually addressed it through vision therapy and an exploratory study at the University of Utah that taught coping strategies rather than a cure. She reflects on how the injury reshaped her boundaries, pace, and happiness. From Challenge to Change

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to show up as a father of daughters?In this episode of The Daughtered Podcast, I sit down with Yusef Marshall—host of One on One with Mr. Yu, certified high-performance coach, leadership coach, minister, speaker, and proud father of three daughters, to dive deep into fatherhood, legacy, and what it takes to raise strong, confident daughters in today's world.Yusef brings over 25 years of coaching, leadership, and life experience to this conversation, but more importantly, he brings the perspective of a man who has walked the road of raising daughters into adulthood... and now into grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.We talk about the biggest mistakes fathers make with daughters, why many men take a passive role in parenting girls, how fathers shape the standard their daughters will one day look for in relationships, and why being present matters far more than simply being a provider.This is a real conversation about growth, responsibility, and becoming the kind of man your daughters need.If you're a father trying to become stronger, more mindful, and more present—this episode is for you.Connect with Yusef Marshall:

In this Resilience Unravelled episode, Russell Thackeray interviews Australia-based Dr. Rosina McAlpine, a PhD educator and former academic, about supporting working parents and raising resilient children.MacAlpine describes her shift from business-school research to parenting after facing conflicting newborn advice, leading her to write Inspired Children and develop Win Win Parenting.She contrasts parenting styles—authoritarian, authoritative (best outcomes), laissez-faire, and neglectful—emphasising that authoritative parenting teaches values, empathy, and resilience. She outlines her practical “SEE” framework: Stop (self-regulate), Empathise (connect), Educate (teach life skills).The conversation links parenting and leadership, discusses workplace equity versus resentment, gender inequality and lack of support after parental leave, and Australia's new minimum age for social media to reduce harms like bullying, anxiety, and body-image issues.

Alicia sits down with Kirsten Thulborn, Group Design Manager at Intuit, for a rare look at how QuickBooks' user interface actually gets built — from the research behind terminology changes like "post" replacing "add," to why some friction in the UI is intentional. Kirsten pulls back the curtain on how her team balances the needs of power users (accountants and bookkeepers) with small business owners who just want to send an invoice, and what she'd redesign from scratch if she could. Plus: why UI changes feel so disruptive, the technology adoption curve, and the story behind the QuickBooks feature you've probably never noticed.SponsorsWurthy - https://uqb.promo/wurthy(00:00) - Meet Kirsten From Intuit (02:41) - Her Role And Products (03:38) - Career Path At QuickBooks (10:18) - Designing For Power Users (11:52) - Sharing New Features Better (18:05) - Where Feedback Goes (21:06) - Writing Great Feedback (24:08) - Balancing Beginners And Pros (26:34) - Business View War Story (28:51) - Designing Shared Interfaces (29:25) - Why We Say Post (31:39) - Testing UI Changes (35:55) - Why Updates Feel Emotional (39:08) - AI and Future Workflows (43:04) - AI Adoption Curve Explained (48:26) - Redesigning Setup Onboarding (51:43) - A Customer Delight Moment (53:25) - Closing Thanks and Signoff LINKSAlicia's Upcoming Classes4/28/26: Converting from QBDT to QBO: http://royl.ws/QBDT2QBO?affiliate=5393907We want to hear from you!Send your questions and comments to us at unofficialquickbookspodcast@gmail.com.Join our LinkedIn community at https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14630719/Visit our YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@UnofficialQuickQBOPodcast?sub_confirmation=1Sign up to Earmark to earn free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/onboarding 

In this episode of the Bench to Bedside podcast, Dr. Roy Jensen, vice chancellor and director of The University of Kansas Cancer Center, speaks with researchers Dr. Nikki Nollen and Dr. Lisa Sanderson-Cox about building lasting collaborations to reduce tobacco use and cancer disparities, particularly in African American communities. They describe how their partnership began at KU Medical Center and grew through a long-term, trusted collaboration with Swope Health, a federally qualified health center in Kansas City. Drs. Nollen and Cox explain how community and patient advisory boards shape their clinical trials, influencing study questions, counseling protocols, and attention to issues like menthol use, tobacco marketing, spirituality, and unmet social needs. They also highlight broader collaborations that advanced genetic and pharmacotherapy insights and helped inform higher-dose nicotine replacement approaches for lighter smokers, and they discuss e-cigarettes as harm reduction for adults but a risk for youth. 00:00 Welcome and Episode Focus 00:59 How Their Collaboration Began 01:54 Building Trust with Swope Health 03:24 Community Advisory Boards in Action 06:50 Letting the Community Lead 08:18 Unmet Social Needs and Study Design 10:28 Genetics and Broader Research Partners 12:09 Updating Nicotine Replacement Dosing 13:32 Lessons from Long Term Teamwork 15:40 E-Cigarettes Harm Reduction Debate 17:21 Closing Thanks and Takeaways Links from this Episode: ·       Learn more the partnership with Swope Health ·       Learn about Dr. Nikki Nollen ·       Learn more about Dr. Lisa Sanderson Cox ·       Learn more about research on e-cigarette usage To ensure you get our latest updates, follow us on the social media channel of your choice by searching for KU Cancer Center.

On the Contacts Coaching Podcast, Half Moon Bay athletic director Mike Barragan shares his path from being an undersized multi-sport athlete to coaching Little League, high school baseball (including at South San Francisco High), and eventually becoming AD in his hometown. He discusses lessons from varied sports and jobs (restaurants, construction, special education), the value of sociology for empathy and reading people, and why he strongly promotes multi-sport participation—especially at small schools where rosters and program health depend on it. Barragan describes navigating relationships with alumni coaches and parents, balancing what's best for individual athletes versus the program, and using team culture practices like bonding meals. He also explains recent focus on improving sportsmanship amid growing trash talk and social media-driven behavior at games.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:45 Mike's Sports Roots04:43 Tony Gwynn Moment05:15 First Coaching Break06:57 Hometown Coaching Drama08:48 Carlmont Reality Check10:51 Teaching and Varsity Leap14:38 Back to Half Moon Bay15:00 Becoming Athletic Director16:59 San Diego Detour20:49 Life Skills and Empathy23:08 Multi Sport Advocacy29:53 Program vs Kid First31:37 Program First Culture32:02 Leading Without Micromanaging33:19 Parents Communication Balance34:33 Coaching Nuggets Learned37:24 Cuts Roles and Development42:44 Alumni Town Dynamics48:52 Sportsmanship Stand58:26 Closing Thanks and Wrap

Alycia Anderson introduces an episode of Pushing Forward with Alycia focused on “glass children,” siblings of disabled kids who often advocate naturally while sometimes feeling invisible, and interviews Meghan Connolly Haupt, founder of Inclusive Saratoga. Meghan shares how her 13-year-old daughter's question sparked Meghan to use her 30-year social impact marketing background to help businesses and communities improve disability inclusion. They discuss how “separate but equal” still limits shared experiences, how loneliness and separation affect disabled people daily, and why barriers are often cultural as much as physical. Meghan explains an empathy-plus-creativity approach, offers low-cost accessibility fixes, and outlines the business case and closes with “relentless forward progress.” The Heart of this Episode

Most entrepreneurs don't burn out because the business gets too hard — they burn out because they never stopped being the operator. In this keynote, recorded live at the LeanScaper Operations Intensive in Cape Coral, Florida, Dwayne Kerrigan makes the case that the real battle isn't strategic, it's psychological. Until you understand the most powerful force in the human condition, no framework, system, or tool will save you. In this episode: Dwayne breaks down the operator's mindset vs. the owner's mindset — and why operators get tired while owners get rich Why your purpose has to be large enough to keep you out of "the tyranny of how" — the trap that pulls owners back into the weeds The identity principle Dwayne calls the single most important lesson from 10+ years at Tony Robbins' side: the most powerful force in the human condition is to remain congruent with how we identify ourselves The event–meaning–emotion–behavior chain, and how changing the meaning you attach to an event changes your results How physiology, language, and focus (the triad) function as your meaning-making filter — and how to use them to access empowering states more consistently Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Purpose Over How 00:27 - Podcast Welcome 00:59 - Event Introduction 02:53 - Dwayne Takes Stage 04:12 - Finding The Why 05:40 - Mentors And Lessons 08:58 - Business Root Causes 11:55 - Operator Vs Owner 14:48 - Core Values And Purpose 19:37 - Identity Drives Action 21:20 - Bus Fight Identity Shift 24:14 - Reframing a Past Bully 25:17 - Identity and No Negotiation 25:51 - Procrastination Becomes Identity 27:47 - Event Meaning Emotion Loop 31:34 - The Triad Explained 32:45 - Physiology Power Positions 36:31 - Energy Thermostat and Mirroring 40:47 - Language Questions Shape Reality 45:21 - Focus Habits and Meaning 47:49 - Closing Thanks and Disclaimer Resources Mentioned: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People — Stephen Covey Keith Cunningham — referenced as the "Rich Dad" in Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad Tony Robbins — Platinum Partners immersion program Simon Sinek — referenced in the context of finding your why John Grinder — creator of NLP, mirroring and matching technique LMN (Landscape Management Network) — referenced by Dwayne and Mark Bradley Quotes: “Taking your passion and turning it into a business is usually not a good wealth strategy.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “If you stand like this for 10 minutes a day, it will increase your testosterone 20%.

What happens when music becomes more than just something you listen to—and starts shaping how you think, feel, and show up in your life? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Numa Palmer, an international singer, songwriter, and artist, to explore how she uses music as a powerful form of expression to resonate positivity and connect with people across cultures.

Ben talks with Birgit Poniatowski, the Executive Director of the International AIDS Society (IAS), about the role of professional associations in the HIV movement and IAS's convening power. Poniatowski describes IAS's origins in 1988, its 13,000-member multidisciplinary base including people living with HIV, and its three main conferences: the IAS Conference on HIV Science (odd years), the International AIDS Conference (even years), and HIV Research for Prevention. They discuss why the International AIDS Conference remains vital amid abrupt funding cuts and shifting donor priorities, the limits and value of hybrid/virtual formats, and plans for AIDS 2026 in Rio with the theme “Rethink, Rebuild, Rise,” emphasizing rebuilding systems for long-term realities, financing and equity, and a broad prevention toolbox. Poniatowski also outlines IAS governance changes to embed community decision-making, priorities “2026 onwards,” youth leadership programs, her career path, and how to engage via the IAS website and volunteering.

Host Fabian Alefeld interviews Erin Mastroni, President and founder of I3D Manufacturing (founded 2013), about building one of the largest additive-focused contract manufacturers and the industry's shift from prototyping to production. Mastroni describes moving from fashion retail and trend forecasting to an MBA in sustainable business, spotting production AM as a key trend, and launching a metal powder bed fusion business in Oregon with limited traditional manufacturing experience.

This is Larry's second interview with Rob Roy McGregor on Balquihidder Music, Publishing, and Practicing Trumpet Excerpts Rob talks about editing, trust, and avoiding gossip. They discuss publishing and distribution, including selling Balquihidder Music to Carl Fischer while keeping the Balquihidder imprint, moving eBooks onto Carl Fischer's iTunes store, and placing Jean-Michel Pilc's book It's About Music for wider exposure. Rob explains how brass publishing relies on one-to-one promotion, social media, and high-profile performers, and why new repertoire struggles to displace standard works in education. He recounts founding Balquihidder in 1991, the origin of its name, expanding from his own excerpt materials to 180 titles, and his process-driven approach to preparing excerpts and piccolo trumpet parts by reducing tension and building range gradually. 00:00 Welcome Back Update 00:39 Sponsors And Support 01:24 Zoom Setup And Greetings 04:22 Interview Goals And Editing 06:16 Trust And Public Image 09:13 Selling To Carl Fischer 11:59 Books Worth Reading 14:24 Why New Music Struggles 21:38 Marketing And Word Of Mouth 25:23 Balquihidder Imprint Today 28:07 Origins Of Balquihidder 32:50 Naming And Early Growth 36:25 From Hobby To 180 Titles 38:31 Early Finale Struggles 40:31 Why Stick With Finale 40:57 Origins of Excerpt Books 42:03 Auditions and Musical Growth 46:45 Building Etudes for Students 48:54 Method Behind the Volumes 51:25 Context Beats Raw Chops 54:52 Practical Tools Approach 57:11 Piccolo Comeback at 70 01:02:20 Stepwise Practice Regimen 01:08:56 Air Management and Patience 01:10:40 Teachers and Growing Up 01:14:19 Closing Thanks and Farewell

In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe is joined by Tracy aka Modern Day Midwife (a hospital-based midwife in Arizona with a NICU background) for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about the realities of modern healthcare. Together, they unpack how the U.S. healthcare system is failing both patients and providers, from provider burnout and lack of mental health support to the pressures of hospital politics, insurance reimbursement, and productivity quotas. They explore the difference between  “Medicine 1.0” (acute care) and “Medicine 2.0” (preventative care, functional medicine, wellness), and how insurance-driven, fee-for-service models often prioritize sick care over true health. The result? Confusing medical bills, rushed care, poor patient experiences, and providers who are stretched thin despite doing deeply meaningful work. HeHe and Tracy dive into the unique challenges facing women's health, maternity care, and birth: over-medicalization, the cascade of interventions, the limits of 10-minute OB-GYN appointments, maternity care deserts, and the need for individualized care, informed consent, and continuity of care. From ACOG guidelines to ever changing evidence and research, they explore possible solutions including a midwifery-led model of care, better transfer systems for home birth and birth center patients, coverage for doulas and health coaching, and shifting consumer demand away from traditional insurance and towards alternatives like health shares.  Tracy shares her exciting vision for an integrated wellness hub that could include midwifery, obstetrics, pelvic floor PT, lactation, chiropractic care, and community-based health supports, and ends by sharing how to connect with her at Premier OB GYN in Phoenix and via Modern Day Midwife online and on Instagram.   00:00 Why Healthcare Breaks Providers 02:24 Burnout and Speaking Up 04:59 Fear and Privilege in Advocacy 07:18 Who Supports Clinicians 12:32 Medicine 1.0 vs Prevention 17:25 Billing Confusion and Fee for Service 19:06 Burn It Down or Reform It 23:55 Disrupting Insurance and Incentives 26:49 Birth Care Needs a New Model 29:36 Preeclampsia Prevention Debate 30:47 Rethinking Maternity Care Roles 32:04 Money in Wellness Care 34:55 Building a One Stop Birth Hub 37:43 Continuity Across Birth Settings 41:45 Evidence Based Medicine Reality Check 47:56 ACOG Guidelines vs Individual Choice 53:23 Demanding Individualized Care 55:11 Rebuilding Healthcare and Provider Support 56:59 Where to Find Tracy 58:15 Closing Thanks and Resources   Guest Bio: Meet Tracy Burns, Board Certified Nurse Midwife.
